a links page for myfellow Aidmates with diabetes. A VERY expensive disease. God Bless us as we journey through having a life that includes being a diabetic.

Lately I haven't been sleeping well. As a result , my morning blood sugars are between 130 and 170 NOT GOOD for fasting blood sugars. If you find your morning sugars are rising and you haven't been sleeping well , check this link out.

Here is another possible source of low cost test strips. You would have to use the WaveSense meter , but this meter seems like it has been researched and it has special features. I believe you can get the meter for about $10.00.The lowest price source for strips according to my source ( http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/ ) is from Krogers. Krogers also delivers ! Plus Krogers has a web site to order online.The strips are at this time , .36 ( yes thirty-six cents) per strip. There are other sources for supplies listed on the site , however Krogers seems like the best price and the fact that they deliver doesn't hurt ! * by the way , no , I do not have any connection to Krogers other than this information .
